tryed new plugs and nogo so im going to try new plug wires and see if it dose any good the thing i dont get is all i did was change the header gasket and it started missing in drive.... ill post results

Don't forget to reset your timing back to where it should be.... Good luck. I see you're from Yukon, we're neighbors.

OK i think it was the plug wires, switched out the accell 8mm with some bosch 8mm and fixed the miss runs smooth now, but what would be the timing for it right now i have it between 6 and 12 **EDIT*** after driving it for a wile the miss came back so it has new plugs and new wires and still missis and jumps only when im in drive all other gears it idles normal could it be a fuel pressure prob. i have a holley blue fuel pump with the holley fuel regulator and running outta 12 gallon fuel cell the fuel pressure gauge reads at 8 psi when in drive..

i tryed cleaning the dist. cap but still misses and if i try and turn the timing down it misses real bad i guess ill try a new cap and see if it dose any good

Ok i think i might know the whole prob. i was driving home tonite and when i got home it was missing real bad so i hooked up a timing light to make sure the timing was right and i seen that the marker on the balancer wasent showing up.. so i looked around on it with the lite and it was way off almost on the bottom of the balancer.. so dose that mean it jumped time or the timing gears might be warn or maybe the gear on the dist. might be warn out to? if so how hard would that be to fix and what tools would i need?
